Title: Anode Assembly
IPC: C23F13/02
Filed: 1978-12-15
Abstract: An anode assembly 1 for use in a system for the cathodic protection of a submerged, or partly submerged elongate metallic member 3 and adapted to be fixed to and to encircle a length of said member, includes a plurality of generally flat, elongate electrically insulating panels 7 of which at least one accommodates a metallic element 6 which will constitute an anode in the aforesaid system, and a means 14 for providing electrical connection to the metallic element, the panels being adapted to be interconnected, in use of the assembly, and circumferentially disposed around the elongate member 3 with part of the surface of the metallic element 6 exposed outwardly of the elongate member. When so interconnected, the panels form a space 20 between the assembly and the elongate member, and the assembly is apertured, 17, to permit electrical current to flow into this space to the elongate member from the metallic element when operating as an anode in the said system. <IMAGE>

Title: Magnetic bubble memory device
IPC: H01F10/30
Filed: 1979-07-25
Abstract: A magnetic bubble memory device is disclosed in which a hardened film 9 made of a heat-resisting highly-polymerized organic resin and having a predetermined thickness is employed for an insulating film interposed between a conductor pattern 8 and a soft magnetic material pattern 10. In a conventional magnetic bubble memory device in which the above-mentioned insulating film is made of SiO2, an abrupt step is produced in the soft magnetic material pattern due to the existence of the conductor pattern beneath a portion of the soft magnetic material pattern, and the margin of bias magnetic field is thereby lowered. According to the present disclosure, the step is reduced and smoothed, and thus the lowering of the margin can be prevented. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2031189-A (GB)
Title: Automatic control of vehicle speed
IPC: F02D31/00
Filed: 1979-09-10
Abstract: A device for controlling the speed of a motor vehicle has an accelerator pedal 10 operated by the driver of the vehicle to act on a position signal source 9 producing a signal dependent on the position of the pedal 10. This is supplied by a damping circuit 11 to a controller 1 which controls an injection pump 16 which regulates the rate of fuel supply to the engine of the vehicle. The position of the injection pump 16 produces a signal via a datum signal source 8 which is compared with the input to the controller 1 to produce a signal to which is fed back to an adjustment means 6 to control the injection pump 16. The damping circuit 11 is designed to pass large voltage signals unchanged but to impose an averaging effect on small voltage fluctuations and comprises a resistor which is shunted by a voltage dependent resistor and supplies a capacitor. The embodiment described shows parallel connected back to back diodes forming the voltage dependent resistor. This suppresses any uneven acceleration or deceleration due to accidental movement of the accelerator pedal 10 caused by the soft suspension of the engine. <IMAGE>

Title: Stepping device
IPC: A63H13/12
Filed: 1980-03-11
